When Will the Jewish People Speak Out Against Violence Against Christians?

Why do honest words that hurt their ears -- Israel is a genocide state, and entirely dependent on the US for the weapons to kill offensively -- deserve more news coverage than actual physical violence against Christian clergy?

Why don't more Jewish people call for Netanyahu's ouster and for their US-funded military to stop killing Palestinians if they want an end to anti-semitism?  Just like anyone who wants the end to the Israeli slaughter of Palestinians civilians is asked to speak out against Hamas and urge them to release the bodies of the hostages taken in October?

It seems... unsymmetrical the logic that is crumbling every day.  Either we use words, not violence, to address what our tax dollars are doing, or we welcome more violence here at home.  If Guns are Power now, and the best defense is a good offense no matter the collaterol damage, why not just hail gang leaders as our new politicians, well equipped at running guns themselves?

How Far We've Fallen...

Twenty years ago today, Pat Tillman was killed by American forces in Afghanistan.  And today? Dick Cheney's daughter Liz has an op-ed running in the NYT -- currently being published by the former publisher's son -- urging the Supreme Court to play politics and "Get Trump!" (a pragmatic man who never started any wars under his watch).

A big problem is demographics.  The war boomers -- the children of the men and women who won WWII -- only see war as profit makers, and they stayed in power much too long, promoting their own children into their ranks.

Now, Age has come for our leaders, who still refuse to leave the stage and let smarter minds in younger bodies have their due.  The old boomers and their ilk (Biden might not be one, but he's a political grifter all the same) are clinging by their fingernails, unable to give up the easy money yet unable in their physical and mental deterioration to call the shots...

Our country is being sold out to the top bidders, whether that be in business or housing stock.  We see it happening but are still slow to take action -- applauding politeness and "going along to getting along".  But never count America and Americans out.  We have an innate sense of justice, and respect for women and children and down deep, we know our country has thrown in with with so lowly people who do not respect life.

So on this Earth Day? Lift a glass of clean water to the memory of Pat Tillman, and gird your loins for the heavy work still ahead.  "Tis a gift to be simple, tis a gift to be Free..."  There's still enough not yet caught up in the trappings, with honest hearts and clean hands who can make this country work.

Know Justice, Know Hope.  Know Peace, Know Love.

Ah, but What Do VOTERS Think?

 What are they teaching in J-school today? They don't seem to understand how power works either.


Police Officer Targeted and Killed in Chicago...

Off-duty but uniformed and returning home from his shift last night. Shot multiple times. Almost 31 years of age... 6-year department. veteran. #Sad.

Added: They stole his cop car. No suspects in custody. Evidence is being collected. God Bless Chicago.

If you're political and like charts,

 Happy Sunday afternoon:

Democracy Doesn't Die in Police Custody Because Young People Always Rise Refreshed.

 

That's how Nature works -- like when the stronger ones take down an aging leader of the pack so together we fare better in the future. We just haven't seen that attitude in this country for so long, expecting "adults" to "buy in" and march in lockstep behind octagenarian leadership in America today that doesn't allow everyone's voice to be heard while addresses issues of concern only at the top (sex scandals, free speech protections, endless wars of conquest...) 

 
“The police presence and the arrests do not deter us in any way,” said Layla Saliba, 24, a Palestinian-American student at the School of Social Work, at a news conference organized by Apartheid Divest, a coalition of student groups.

Team D takes a hit: Biden Down. Biden Down!



I think we can state firmly:  today was the day Joe Biden lost the November election:

I commend President Biden for his ironclad commitment to Israel's security and his announcement of new sanctions on leaders and entities affiliated with Iran's IRGC, the Iranian Defense Ministry, and Iran's missile and drone program, following its brutal attack on Israel. President Biden has called on all G7 partners to take the same path. This is our opportunity to form a global front and a regional coalition against Iran, together with the US, the EU, and moderate Arab states, to stop the serpent's head that threatens global stability. We must stop Iran now before it's too late.

More Destruction Before They've Cleaned Up Their Last Mess.

Israel must think the world is going to clean up after them, and nod in approval at their latest alleged "defensive" tactic

What fools they are:

What is Isfahan known for?

Isfahan is famous for its Perso–Islamic architecture, grand boulevards, covered bridges, palaces, tiled mosques, and minarets. Isfahan also has many historical buildings, monuments, paintings and artifacts. The fame of Isfahan led to the Persian pun and proverb "Esfahān nesf-e- jahān ast": Isfahan is half of the world.
